4 bedroom link detached house for sale

Authentically and lovingly converted in 1997 by its current owners, Grade II listed Hilltop Barn offers the perfect blend of character and modern convenience. Originally housing horses, pigs, geese and grain, with parts dating back to the 1800’s, this delightful home oozes history and reclamation with the majority of the property benefiting from the original treated timber throughout.

The ground floor consists of a spacious entrance hallway with convenient w.c., leading to the open plan kitchen-diner with additional space for seating and adjoining utility. From the kitchen-diner you head through to a peaceful living / reading room before entering the pièce de resistance, an open-plan living-dining space complete with log-burner and vaulted ceiling, highlighting the property’s story, a mezzanine where geese once lived and the historical grain-store door, whose gear has been rehomed as a statement piece in the kitchen, maintaining that all so important link to the past.

This space is flooded with light from the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the front garden and double doors to the rear, helping to create a perfect entertaining space to utilising the sun throughout the day.

On the first floor there are two nearly identical bedrooms with versatile mezzanine spaces giving plenty of options for sleeping, studying and relaxation as well as a generous main bedroom with additional sink. A family bathroom, separate shower room and handy storage cupboard/wardrobe complete this floor.

Ancillary accommodation sits in the front garden in the form of a garage accessed via off-street parking for two cars, adjoined either side by a guest bedroom, one currently used as an office, with accompanying ensuites.

Beautifully landscaped front and rear gardens offer a blend of lawns, vegetable patch, mature trees and various plants and shrubs with its centrepiece pond completing the picture of tranquillity.

Accessed via a private road, Hilltop Barn is conveniently located to get to both Bristol and the world heritage site of Bath as well as access to the M4 and M5, offering a rare blend of countryside living and city links.
